in live different places on the body -each
cut being a (loop Mesh wound. Tho
gashes ranged from four to twelve inches
in longlh. This not satisfying tho per
petrator or perpetrators of tho deed, tim
poor woman's clothing was sot on lire
and burned from her body.
"This crime is shocking in every do

KILLED IIIS FATHER-IN-LAW.
Thu Fatal Blow Was Struck With a Double
Bnrrollcd Shot Gun.
The Greenville Mountaineer, of March
17th, ({ives tho following account of a
deplorable killin"; in that county:
Thomas Reynolds, a well known farmer
of the vicinity of Woodville postollice,
thirteen miles below thc eily, was fatally
wounded on the morning of tho (Hil in
stant, by his son-in-law, .Jesse Moore.
Thc wound was made with the butt of a
double-barreled shot Rim. Death occur
red on Wednesday night, 11th instant.
Coroner Willbanks held an inquest on
Thursday. Tho only witnesses were the
members of tho family and a neighbor
uemed Howard. Tho following arc thc
facts elicited by tho inquest:
On Monday night, at li instant, Roy
uolds roturuod homo from this city un
der thc iiillucncc of liijtior. His child- i
ron wero BO mo what afraid of bim and
early in thc night ho was rather violent.
His daughter, who is about, grown, and
lt son went to l'elzor, three miles distant
to t he home of Jesse Moore, a son-in-law.
Moore and tho hoy returned to Key Holds'
home and thc young lady remained willi
her sister, Mrs. Mooro.
Reynolds seemed to have gone to hod
with n knife nuder his pillow and a gnu
standing near tho bed. When Moore
went into tho room about 2 a. m., Hoy
nobls roused M)? and started to get out of I
bed, swearingns bc threw back tho cover.
Moore stopped him by a blow with
tho gun. Thc only remark heard was
that of Mooie, who said, "Look herc,
old man, what does this mean." Mrs.
Reynolds said Moore wanted to go hack
home as soon as he came ami found
Reynolds asleep, but she insisted oil his
remaining, the idea seeming to bc that '
Reynolds might wake up ami become
violent again.
Tho blow on tho head deranged Rey
nolds and he experienced only occasional
rational periods. His death was
caused by congestion of the brain. Mrs.
Reynolds swore timi while sane he said
Moore struck him because ho had lo do
it. ?She said Reynolds had never injured
her, but generally made threats when
drunk'.
The. gun whioh contained only empty
shells was broken in two at the brooch
by tho blow.
Moore came to the city yesterday after
having attended tho funeral. Ho was
put in jail, hui hones to bc able to give
bond ill a few days. Moore is about 2?
years of age and so far as is known has
always been on good terms with the
family of his father-in-law.
Reynolds was about forty live years of
age. Ho llgured before thc public a
year ago in au unsavory case, and came
clear through a technical failure of tho
prosecution. Ho was indicted at thc
March term of court, I8UD, for adultly,
thc wife of Wm. Hicks, near l'elzor he
ilig involved. Some time before Hie. trial
Reynolds premised to leave tho State as
soon as his crop was laid by, but he did
not leave and Hicks administered alargo
dose ol* squirrel shot as a persuasive.
Reynolds' picture is now oil tile in thc
(derk's ollico witb sonic very racy testi
mony in the nilli!try ease.
We have saved many doctor bills since
WO began using ( 'hainhci Iain's Cough
Remedy in our home. Wc keep a bottle
open all thc time and whenever any of
my family or myself begin to catch cold
we begin to uso tho Cough Remedy, and,
as a result, we never have to send away
for a doctor ami incur alargo doctor bill,
for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never
fails to cure, lt is certainly a medicine
of great, merit mid worth. - 1). S. Mcnrklo,
